Abstract: This map outlines the main processes and related landforms of the stretch of the Western Desert from Deir El Munassib to El Taqa Plateau, south of El Alamein (Egypt). Freely available digital elevation data derived from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, image processing of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer and field surveys have led to the geomorphological map at 1:40,000 scale. Landforms constitute the result of the complex interplay of gravitational, aeolian, coastal and fluvial processes strongly influenced by geological structure. Particular attention was devoted to the recognition, identification and mapping of military remains dating to 1942, which occur all over the study area.
